I won't attest to the ones that have found a safe haven these doors may create. May your higher power continue to lead a path through sobriety.
My personal experience left me so impulsed, which are feelings I rarely feel the need to express. I would personally, highly recommend discovering alternative recovery establishments. Based solely on my experience involving unprofessional manners and racing for recovery's stated "unqualified" employees.
I recently put myself in an irresponsible position as a vehicular passenger, and was welcomed with a list of deserved penalties. One including attending a very expensive, in person, assessment. After this lengthy personal assessment I was told and given a written conclusion stating I did not require personal treatment, unless I was convicted of said crime because "that's what the judge would want." I was not convicted of said crime.
However weeks later, after completing this assessment, a man by the name of Dan decided after spending only minutes on the phone with me, treatment was necessary and rewrote my original assessment, despite what the conviction entailed. Never even personally meeting or individually speaking with me about these said topics, yet absolutely contrary to the actual determination of the assessment. 33 classes deemed necessary. $750 minimum out of pocket. Hmmm.. After concluding no treatment was necessary?
I've lived with addicts, I've loved addicts. I myself as a teen was troubled with no sense of consequence or responsibility. No goals. No direction. It doesn't matter how much guidance or love one has if one is truly an addict, unlike their website states. I can tell you no one will seek sobriety unless they want it. No lack of any sort of void in life makes one an addict. Any one providing a service toward the understanding of TRUE sobriety and addiction would be well aware. Not out chasing a dollar. Not making insubordinate conclusions, or verbally insulting me on the phone insinuating my words to be lies based on nothing other than uneducated, impertinent opinions. I have nothing to prove to any one other than myself.
He warned me about places of recovery out after only your dollar. And I highly respected that until my realization of these ironically similar intentions. So now I'm warning you.
There's a subliminal message to adhere to about establishments that only take time respond to negative comments. I've been in hospitality related establishments half my life. There are FAR better, genuine options than Racing for Recovery if you are struggling with addiction. And if in actuality the gentleman that hosted my assessment was so unqualified it caused a void in determination, completely altering the determination, why are employees as such making decisions or contributing input to the fragile recommendations and respected advice being given in recovery?
I don't barter integrity for a dollar. And I wouldn't recommend anyone else to. Non profit in this scenario is an exaggerated tax free label. "In my opinion." read more
